Goofs:

Factual errors: The orbits shown of Romulus and Remus as shown in Data's briefing are not possible according to Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. The gravitational pull of two planets passing in such close proximity would have long ago dislodged one of both from its orbital path.See more »

Quotes:

[first lines] Commander:Senators, consider the opportunities for the Empire. At last, the destinies of the planets Romulus and Remus will be united. Shinzon of Remus is offering us a chance to make ourselves stronger than ever before. It would be madness to reject it. I beg you not to let prejudice or politics interfere with this Alliance. By joining Shinzon's forces with ours, not even the Federation will be able to stand in our way. Praetor Hiren:That's enough! The decision has been made. The military does not dictate policy on Romulus. The Senate has considered Shinzon's proposal and rejected it. He and his followers will be met with all deliberate force, and sent back to that black rock they came from! Do I make myself clear?See more »

This was a very different Star Trek film mainly due to its dark tone.
Despite mainstream belief, I think 'Insurrection' was a beautifully written
film and despite the simple story, it worked nicely as the characters were
having fun.

This film is very serious and although I don't like action films, this
movie was pretty intense thanks to its villain. The characters aren't having
fun at all which I think detaches the audiences a little cause it's not a
fun adventure. The stakes in this film are more personal to the characters
so there's no time for the regular jokes once the story kicks in as there's
too much at stake.

That aside, this film is handsomely produced with a great production design
and has some exciting conflict between Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his
nemesis, Shinzon (Tom Hardy). The face off between the two characters in the
final 30 minutes is very exciting.

The performances where all brilliant in the film and I hope to see the full
version of the film on DVD as I think the mind rape suffered by Troi (Marina
Sirtis) could have been further explored.

Why this film failed at the box-office was the timing. You don't release a
Star Trek film 5 days before Lord of the Rings. L.O.T.R. is more popular
than Star Trek right now but this film could have re-ignited the franchise
if people went and saw it. Delaying its release in Australia was a good idea
as this has given it a no. 1 spot on opening weekend which it deserves
despite an almost non-existent marketing campaign here.

It wasn't a bad film by any means and I think the critics didn't like it
because it was so dark and that there's little sense of
fun.

I think 'Nemesis' is a very worthy chapter in the Star Trek franchise. It
took a while to reach Australian audiences but most of us believe it was
well worth the wait. 8 out of 10
